Nicaragua Nicaraguita

Celebrating the overthrow of the U.S. backed Somoza dictatorship in 1979, this love song for revolutionary Nicaragua compares her to flowers and honey, and declares that now, since you are free, I love you even more. The reference to Diriangen is to a warrior of the Chorotega tribe who inflicted heavy, if temporary, defeats on the Spanish invaders early in the sixteenth century.

Translation

Oh Nicaragua, Nicaraguita! The most beautiful flower of my love, fertilised with the blessed blood of Diriangen. Oh Nicaragua you are even sweeter than the honey from Tamagas, but now that you are free Nicaraguita I love you much more!
